Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained soil and prefers consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Protect from strong, drying winds. Pruning is primarily for maintaining its distinctive 'pom pom' shape, best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer.
